NAME

glsnake − OpenGL enhanced Rubik’s Snake cyclewaster.

SYNOPSIS

glsnake [−−display host:display.screen] [−−window] [−−root] [−−window−id number] [−−visual visual] [−−delay microseconds] [−−fps] [−−wireframe] [−−altcolour] [−−angvel angular] [−−explode distance] [−−statictime milliseconds] [−−yangvel angle] [−−zangvel angle]

DESCRIPTION

glsnake is an imitation of Rubiks´ Snake, using OpenGL.

OPTIONS

glsnake accepts the following options:
−−window

Draw on a newly-created window. This is the default.

−−root

Draw on the root window.

−−window−id number

Draw on the specified window.

−−install

Install a private colormap for the window.

−−visual visual

Specify which visual to use. Legal values are the name of a visual class, or the id number (decimal or hex) of a specific visual.

−−fps

Display the current frame rate, CPU load, and polygon count.

−−wireframe

Display the snake in wireframe mode, rather than the default solid mode.

−−altcolour

Use the alternate colour scheme for the snake. Shape identification using colour will be disabled.

-angvel angular

Change the speed at which the snake morphs to a new shape.

-explode distance

Change the distance between the nodes of a snake.

−−statictime milliseconds

Change the time between morphs.

−−yangvel angle

Change the angle of rotation around the Y axis per frame.

−−zangvel angle

Change the angle of rotation around the Z axis per frame.

ENVIRONMENT

DISPLAY

to get the default host and display number.

XENVIRONMENT

to get the name of a resource file that overrides the global resources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.

XSCREENSAVER_WINDOW

The window ID to use with −−root.

BUGS

The snake will happily intersect itself while morphing (this is not a bug).

The rotation/camera position sucks.
